Collin Gosselin thinks his sister Hannah is being squeezed. The memoir author now says their mother Kate is behind Hannah's recent move to distance herself from his abuse claims.

What Collin said on daytime TV

Collin appeared on "The View" and said Hannah spoke openly about their childhood while cameras rolled for an upcoming Netflix documentary. He claims she supported his account of what happened at home and talked about her own experiences too.

He now calls her latest public statement "pre-damage control" ahead of the film's release. Collin believes Kate is pushing her and suggested their mom may be using money or Hannah's bond with the other siblings as leverage.

Hannah's statement and Collin's reply

A day before his appearance, Hannah wrote on her TikTok story that she was stepping back from the drama. She said she had not talked with Collin in close to a year and that she remains close to Kate and her siblings.

Collin says that timeline is wrong. He claims the two of them have gotten together several times this year and that he has pictures to show it. He added that he does not think Hannah should be forced to pick a side.

The Netflix project features Collin, Hannah and their father Jon Gosselin. It looks at what it was like to grow up on reality TV.

Kate's side

Kate wrote back to a supportive TikTok commenter that she is secure in who she is and that her children know the real her.

In another reply she said critics are lucky if they have never looked after a family member living with mental illness. Kate has pointed to Collin's mental health when responding to his account. Her lawyer has said she never set out to hurt him and that her choices were about keeping the family safe.

Colleen Conrad stands by him

Jon's former girlfriend Colleen Conrad, who was with Jon from 2014 until 2021, has been cheering Collin on. His book "In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood" opened at No. 1 on a major nonfiction best seller list. Colleen posted that she was proud of him.

In the book Collin describes her as the mother figure he needed. Colleen answered on Instagram with a promise. "I will always be your mom," she wrote. Collin thanked her in the comments.

Colleen later questioned Kate's comments about Collin's mental health. She says she is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over three decades in health care. She says she did not see the behavior she would expect from his earlier diagnoses once he moved in with her and Jon. She adds that his medications were slowly stopped with doctors overseeing the process.

Kate has said Collin was placed in a psychiatric facility because of violent behavior. Collin disputes that version of events.

Letting it out on Special Forces

Collin is also competing on "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test." In this week's episode an instructor told him to channel his anger at a sparring partner wearing red pads. Collin let out a scream, took the man down and threw a flurry of punches and elbows.

In a confessional he said the course is something his mother cannot take from him after she took his childhood.

Jon has said he wants Kate to face criminal charges. Kate denies abusing Collin. No charges have been filed.
